Make India A Success Or A Failure

But it is clear that the India’s success came not from home demand but from US demand. Indian engineers have been for years working for US companies, especially in IT sector. With the growth of IT industry, there has been developed a sort of strong “Indian connection” in Silicon Valley. According to Anna Lee Saxenian, an associate professor at the University of California at Berkeley whose research is a study about Silicon Valley’s immigrant, that “of an estimated 2,000 startups in Silicon Valley 40% are Indian-spawned.” [4] The Indian connection in Silicon Valley, the intellectual capital in India and the trend of outsourcing in current global competition altogether bring India a great competitive advantage.

India has emerged as a trading superpower and as an increasing magnet for FDI.  Its role in the international economy to this point has been less remarked than the rise and dominance of China but increasingly India will be appreciated for the opportunities it is creating for its citizens, employers and foreign and domestic firms.

The decision to expand into the Indian market by investing in production facilities must be supported by the desired market entry strategy, in conjunction with market requirements, expected demand profile and the regional manufacturing footprint (ref Figure 3).

The Foreign Direct Investment is stimulated by diverse macroeconomic factors such as the GDP, GDP per capita and also by the political stability of a country. The US is the country, which receives the more FDI in the world; even tough some other countries recently have increased their FDI considerably in term of growth. The overall quality of the infrastructure in the US

FDI allows the home country to invest into the host country to produce, advertise, and distribute products, in order to upsurge their market share and provides a long-term investment and enhancement. (Moosa, 2002)

In addition it is worth considering that emerging economies having been attracting increasingly more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) having accounted for 52% of global FDI inflows according to recent data. Looking closer at the FDI spread based on regional allocation it is worth noting that Nigeria received the greatest proportion of FDI in Africa, Indonesia in South-Eastern Asia, Mexico in Central America and Turkey in West Asia. This demonstrates the investment potential within the MINT

India is one of the fastest-growing IT services markets in the world. Government’s proactive measures like ‘Digital India Initiative’, construction of a technology incubator in Hyderabad and other initiative are evident that startups in the IT sector are expected to grow particularly in the upcoming years.

Other supporting industries like the engineering and fabrication, foundry and castings, mineral processing, automobile, process industries and plethora of interrelated industries will be huge beneficiaries of these initiatives. All the initiatives are expected to bring in radical changes in the macroeconomic outlook of the country in next 5-10 years. The large pool of highly agile, young, technically skilled, elitist, and English perceptive engineers, scientists, managers, and artisans will play a crucial role in the economic transformation of India. The creation of the manufacturing corridors with requisite and ready to move infrastructures will definitely catalyze the growth of the manufacturing sectors. With these initiatives and confidence given by the government of the day, the prevailing perception of the overseas investors, especially from the western world is gradually changing in favour of India. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI, 2014), the FDI is expected to touch US $ 65-70 billion by the end of

In a column in Financial Express titled ‘Making Make-in-India happen’, Arindam Bhattacharya, senior partner and director, Bruce Henderson Institute, Boston Consulting Group opined that to attract global investments in some investment-intensive sectors like those in the high-end of electronics value chain, India must offer package of incentives. The column noted, “Investment in the investment-intensive high-end of the electronics value-chain is very lumpy, and made for a decade of future demand or longer given the high investment intensity. And thus, they follow a cycle of large investment which takes a long time to pay off as demand slowly catches up, and rates can vary from country to country.” Therefore, it is important to “approach to target these large ‘anchor client’ investors with specifically designed incentive package, which is based on an in-depth understanding of the economics of the investment and the investment cycle for the

That is why fdi (foreign direct investment) show huge growth with the last decade. Many foreign companeis (pepsico, nokia, walmart, general electrical etc) and bank (citi bank, standard chartered, abn amro etc) are entering in India day by day however many more is to come. |

Asia countries are the predominant location for FDI. China and India remain the two big countries that receive FDI sources. Because of low labor cost and low input cost, many investors are shifting their attention from Malaysia to China. India, as

At one-third the size of the United States, India is the seventh largest country in the world at approximately 3,287,263 km². Located in Southern Asia, India has a population of 1,333,521,673, a total of 441 people per square kilometer per a 2015 census conducted by the World Bank (Population Reference, 2015, p. 1). Despite its size, population and its presence in the world economy at number 10, its gross domestic product (GDP) is worth approximately2073.54 billion US dollars and represents 3.34% of the global economy (India’s gross domestic product, 2016, p. 1).

Since 1970s, in INDIA the perspective of multinational companies has changed drastically, when the country invited FDI (foreign direct investment) and opened its economy, and worldwide players, for instance, 3M, Coca Cola, Volkswagen and began investigating their business. In the year1980, diverse MNCs, for instance, Motorola, NEC and Philips were gladly accepted. They valued corporate expense rates and paid no obligations on their capital merchandise imports. Generally, they were adored by consumers and the government alike. Indeed, even into the 1990s, as INDIA added to a superior comprehension of MNCs, the international organizations were the objects of admiration and awe. Around then, consumers of INDIA displayed a

India has an amazing rate of growth which has reached to 9% in 2007. The average rate of growth is 7% since 1994. This is an important evidence of the stable development of Indian economy. Also unlike to other developing countries India managed to have a very low rate of inflation which has remained close to 4% since 2000 and has not fluctuated much then. India seems to be one of the safest economic environments for investment when compared to other Asian countries. Moreover India’s imports almost tripled between 2001 and 2005 from $50.1 billion to $138.4 billion, while exports more than doubled, from $43.3 billion to $99.7 billion. Another import point that should be noted

Although India has been controlled by foreign rulers for centuries the people of India have decided they no longer will stand by and be governed by an outside source. The British Governor Generals have proposed a constitution for India saying it is the best plan for a free India; however they are wrong. There are several issues which can be detrimental to India’s success as a self-governing country. The British need to stop treating the people of India as children, by telling them what they need, and instead let them decide for themselves. One issue in the constitution proposed is the lack of a national judicial system. Another is the income of the national government is based upon the provinces and therefore there is no way to enforce the standards the national government sets. An additional issue is the weaknesses of a decentralized government. While there are several other minor issues, the biggest issue of all is the English Rights Clause.
